Photo restorations

 

Old photos restored. Bring your old family photos that have faded, cracked, or even stuck to glass in the frame, to be fixed to look better than new. Be it they may be sitting in boxes, frames, or albums, they can in most cases, be restored. The original image is treated with the utmost care and returned undamaged. The restoration is done in house and is never sent out where it could be lost. The final image is created from a copy of the original and is printed on a variety of paper choices- be it fine art paper, photo paper, canvas and watercolor paper.
